Thanksgiving Visitors

It feels really odd for us to have Thanksgiving approaching and for us to not be prepping for a cruise. Over the last four Thanksgiving holidays, we have been on a cruise for three of them, including the last two. It has almost become a tradition for our family. Since we did an Alaska cruise […]

At The Lions Game

As detailed before, we spent Sunday and Monday this week in Phoenix. Sean and I attended the Detroit Lions vs the Arizona Cardinals NFL game on Sunday afternoon. Suzanne and Savannah went along to have some girl time out and then some family time at the end of the day and Monday. Unfortunately, the Lions […]

Off To See The Lions

Well, I went ahead and did it last night. I ordered tickets to the Detroit Lions against the Arizona Cardinals game this upcoming weekend. I got tickets for Sean and I to go to the game. He is really excited as it will be his first NFL football game. Being an avid Lions fan my […]

Detroit Lions Putting It All Together

I am feeling a bit giddy today. Thus far, this has been a tremendous season for the Detroit Lions. With yesterdays 44 – 7 blowout of the Denver Broncos, they improved their season mark to 6 – 2. One of the best things about their emergence this year is the complete surprise they have caught […]

Savannah’s Cheerleading Squad Takes 2nd

There was also an elite category where more stunts, tricks and stuff are done. Unfortunately, this whole event seemed extremely disorganized and haphazard. It was very frustrating for Sean and I […]

Cheerleading Competition Tomorrow

Actually, somewhat late in the game and losing, the referees called the game because our kids were hitting the other kids too hard. Boy, I would have liked to see that and understand what the […]

Business Trip To Germany

If you have been watching my Quick Thoughts updates to the right, then you know I was recently in Germany on a business trip. I really like trips to Germany, but they are still hard on one. This was a pretty quick trip except that we had a weekend stay involved. One of my colleagues […]

Family Resemblence

We found this picture of Suzanne at age 9 in an old album and couldn’t believe how much it looks like Savannah. We thought that Savannah looked like Grammy, but now we think she looks just like her mother if you compare these two pictures. 5392 5395

Suzanne Thinking New Car, Again

Actually, it’s not as bad as the title might lead you to believe. She is thinking about doing this for a good reason. Normally, its me that wants the new car. ๐Ÿ˜‰ About 18 months ago, we both bought ourselves new cars. I got a very nice Mercedes Benz E350 and she got a nice […]
